We all feel like there is no way this could happen to us, that we were *so* careful---but this IS all related to accidentally displacing some components behind the SIM tray.
The primary defect is that the power button and home button don't work. The secondary defect is that the phone "thinks" the home button is pressed during startup ---this boots to recovery mode.
Prove it to yourself: open the phone and disconnect battery. Wait a minute and reconnect.
Power button--nothing.
Prompt phone to boot by inserting charger---recovery mode..
Repeat steps above, except after promoting phone to boot with charger, pull it out after you see Apple logo---phone will boot as normal.

I bet all these problems are all related to pry damage on the logic board from removing the original battery.

When I do this repair, I notice that the phone will boot in recovery mode when I test it and one of the replace components isn't fully soldered. If I try it again it solves and boots normally
